Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Jackson County leans toward nursing and residential care facilities (39 establishments, 2.9 times the national share). For them, families research care for a relative, and the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. Next on the list: religious, civic and membership organizations, 91 of them, at twice the national share. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
